To mark the entry into force of the Mine Ban Treaty/Ottawa Convention Afghan Landmine Survivors’ Organization (ALSO) as part of ALSO’s Lend your Leg (LYL) activities, organized ‘Survivors’ Swimming Match’ in Kabul – It was the first time that such an event took place in Afghanistan, therefore it drew great attention among government authorities and media. The objective of the event was to promote victim assistance and draw attention about ongoing challenges caused by landmines in Afghanistan. The slogans we used were: ‘We support a Mine Free Afghanistan’ and ‘No More New Landmine Victim’. Over 100 people attended the event including survivors, head of National Olympic Committee of Afghanistan, head of Paralympic, Deputy Minister of Ministry of Women Affair, several parliamentarians, disability/VA network members, athletes and media representatives. @3rd Eye Photo Journalist for Afghan Landmine Survivors Organization, 13 March 2013, Kabul
